Geography

The Gladstone - Monto Road enters the locality from the north (Mungungo) and exits to the west (Monto). [4]

Monal Creek also enters the locality from the north and exits to the west, flowing parallel and west of the main road. [4]

The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some irrigated crop growing close to the creek. [4]

History

The district was originally known as Monal Creek. In 1925, Monal Creek Provisional School opened, becoming Monal Creek State School in 1927. [5] [6]

The final stage of the Byellee to Monto railway line was completed in 1931 with the district being served by the Bukali railway station ( 24°48′28″S151°09′20″E / 24.8079°S 151.1555°E / -24.8079; 151.1555 (Bukali railway station) ). [7]

The locality takes its present name from the railway station. It is believed to be an Aboriginal word meaning either "cold" or "bad smell". [2] In June 1936, the school was renamed Bukali State School. It closed permanently in 1963. [5] [6]

The railway line closed in 2002.[ citation needed ]
